Robert Chansler commented on ZOOKEEPER-1001:
--------------------------------------------
Trying too hard? For the HDFS application, and a big cluster, a reader that
reaches the end of the ledger can sleep for a second, and then confidently
expect to find hundreds of additional records.
Whether and/or how to fault the writing process should be a separate issue.
(See Ben's comment from 28 February.)
> Read from open ledger
> ---------------------

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-1001
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1001
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: contrib-bookkeeper
> Reporter: Flavio Junqueira
> Attachments: zk-1001-design-doc.pdf, zk-1001-design-doc.pdf

>
> The BookKeeper client currently does not allow a client to read from an open
> ledger. That is, if the creator of a ledger is still writing to it (and the
> ledger is not closed), then an attempt to open the same ledger for reading
> will execute the code to recover the ledger, assuming that the ledger has not
> been correctly closed.
> It seems that there are applications that do require the ability to read from
> a ledger while it is being written to, and the main goal of this jira is to
> discuss possible implementations of this feature.
